A wonderful way to learn unlock the Talmud

Rabbi Abrams has a magical way of exciting the soul and opening up what on first glance can be quite intimidating, the Talmud. She learned with Rabbi Seinsaltz and gives readers insights into his marvelous works. This book is useful for those experienced in Talmud study but will be particularly helpful for those with little exposure.The Guide is a 'end in and of itself' - readers will gain insight and inspiration from the guide even if they do not go forward with their Talmud studies.
